Sounds good mate save me a spot, will see about getting up on the Friday night if its too late, setting up in the dark shouldnt be too bad hopefully, especially if we got fire light

Will be in a bivi bag under a poncho tarp so wont be a big area needed. Will have to pick up some basha poles this week though

I'll be bringing some bits for people to make char cloth if they would like to.

Is anyone coming up from the Leeds area who wouldnt mind popping into clas ohlson and picking me up a couple of Mora Viking Knifes. If they get 3 I will obviously pay and they can have the third one for their trouble. Just if anyone is passing close to it?

Ill also bring a few bits out of rat packs (just a boat load of tea, coffee, whitener and a few fruit doo da's and some pate) free to anyone who wants them.

Can bring a Bergan in great con. if anyone is looking for one for a swap?
